DIY light bar for a 36" 4X39W Aquaticlife Light

[sfarkhan]

I am building a 57 G Oceanic Illuminata planted tank and I would like to use a light bar to suspend my Aquaticlife light above the tank. I have purchased the suspension hardware for the light.

I've been trying to find a good plan that is pretty straightforward on the Interwebs. Does anyone have any first hand experience doing this?

I do not have much out door area nor the tools to bend conduit. I am willing to put the capital into buying or borrowing/renting the tools. I am also not afraid of DIY.

Help

I made my own light suspension and have my own pipe/conduit bending tool. I also bought my own hardware to attach the pipes to my stand.

You can borrow my tool if you come to the next meeting and I will bring it.

thank you! I am planning on coming to the next meeting this month. Which plans did you use for your tank? I remember seeing one last year and I forgot to bookmark the plans.

I did something similar to Kris W's light build. Maybe if you come by my place after the July meeting, you can see my attempt.

Aaron demonstrated this at the July 2007 meeting. Not a lot of detail, but here are the instructions from the Meeting Notes:

Thank you! That helps. I found another one last night which builds on this. I may just take a photoblog of my build and post it online for posterity as it seems to be a popular DIY project.
